lyrics
You can feel it in the midnight air, cold calling like a piercing stare
Despair, in its silence, true violence
Your body and soul attack each other
You’re ripped apart, torn, and smothered
You’re taken away from this dimension to evolve
In the unknown one
The stars are fading, shining no more
Shapes of black are all you see
You want scream but your empty hollow voice is dead and shallow
As the air around you
Wings of steel, eyes of ice, you will kneel
Silver horns, cold obsidian skin reflects your void
You’ve become one, flying through the air
Wings slashing like a longsword pair
No prayers, just prey
Ways of the old occult are laws for your new armour and soul
Black as coal
Visions of future you will see, your mind is set
Ready to rule, ready reign all
Wings of steel, eyes of ice, you will kneel
Silver horns, cold obsidian skin reflects your void
Nightmares turning to life wherever I bleed, and I breed
No more lonely or weak, scared of the dark, I am the dark
Master of all shapes and shadows and the weak, and the weak
I am your god
Wings of steel, eyes of ice, you will kneel
Silver horns, cold obsidian skin reflects your void
Silver horns
A captivating combination of genres – essentially proggy death metal. A seamless 60 minutes full of musical ideas. A little noodly at times, but I enjoy the clean guitar work. Lyrically, it sits somewhere between nihilism and humanism – anti-religion, but more broadly institutional than the typical metal fare. There's a relish to the violence against women imagery in "Slave" which I don't enjoy, but on the whole this album stands up to scrutiny from most directions. Certainly not run of the mill Luke
Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ
The Army of Gaia stormed into Switzerland a few weeks back (on tour with Vader and Vomitory) and the Greek Gods Aetherian completely overwhelmed me with joy! Damn this is good! Melodic DM masterpiece indeed! I really love all songs but am really obsessed with the first four. Can't wait to see them live on stage again soon! Fans of Rotting Christ would like these Greek guys too :) sachavonkarl74
Finnish death metallers leaven infernal dynamics with triumphant, infectious melodies, striking a compelling balance between grit and grace. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 25, 2023
